Artist’s Biography

be more creative in his photographic works.
Using digital technology, in the last 5 years he
has consciously pursued a transition to a more
contemporary style of expression. His current
work emulates painting. Among them is a a
carefully crafted portfolio of fallen leaves in
gutters that was shown in the Photographic
Society of Singapore gallery in September 2014

Artist’s Biography
Goh Beng Kwan (b. 1937) works in collages
with an “Oriental” perspective, using colours
such as red and gold, and materials drawn from
his immediate surroundings. Although aware
of the inherent content of the materials, he
selects them primarily based on their sensual
and emotional qualities. His primary source
of inspiration is nature and its ever-changing
qualities. In 1982 he won the first prize in the
inaugural UOB Painting of the Year competition
and in 1989 he received the Cultural Medallion.

Chinese ink painter specialising in local
subjects and landscapes. He has painted famous
landmarks and tiny villages in countries such
as India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia

an early focus for Goh. Like his predecessors,

timelessness of art.

Artist’s Biography
Guo Yixiu (b. 1989) engages with social
concerns through her art. Taking on the use of
everyday objects as “pixels” or “paints”, Guo’s
works straddle between mediums. Her desire
to challenge the boundaries between painting
and photography is a response to the rigid
structures of Singapore society. Her works test
the idea of boundaries in a playful manner,
seeking to address the imbalances in a society
where too much emphasis has been placed on
technology and consumerism.

Artist’s Biography
Luke Heng (b. 1987) was born in Singapore
where he currently lives and works. He
graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts
from LASALLE College of the Arts. Heng
is interested in the materiality of painting,
particularly the process of materialising
the painting and the role of materials in the
perception of the painting. His paintings
unravel over time: they suggest at the possible
escalation of their own unravelling; these are
works that appear to present very little initially,
but given time and observation, slowly reveal
themselves.

Joo Choon Lin (b. 1984) investigates the
relations between appearance and essence,
informed by her interest in technological
developments: as technologies of representation
devise new ways of capturing the likeness of
things, so the quality of the surfaces of these
things undergoes a transformation. She has
been experimenting with materials and media
to examine the relations between visual and
tactile experiences. Her work has exhibited
locally and international including the Fukuoka
Asian Art Triennale (2009), Aichi Triennale
(2010) and Singapore Biennale (2013).

Artist’s Biography
Godwin Koay (b. 1987) is an artist and art
worker based in Singapore. Using visual
and textual media of physical, digital, found
and fabricated states, their work is informed
by and performed through modes of openended inquiry. This is directed at exploring
and testing possibilities of an artistic practice
that intersects with anarchist ideas of social
and political praxis, broadly engaging
tensions between autonomy and authority
while examining thematics of fiction,
imagination, precarity, anxiety, urgency
and counter-hegemony.

Artist’s Biography
Sabrina Koh (Sab.) (b. 1978) focuses on
the human body as her principal mode of
expression where she examines the paradoxes
and contradictions inherent in society.
Sab.’s work hinges on the ambiguous and
the unknown to create a web of complex
associations and questions for the viewer.
Her work is conceptually driven and interdisciplinary. The nature of Sab.’s work allows
her to position between various disciplines,
bringing entrepreneur sensibility under the
creative label bang.and.sew. The driver for
projects are highly collaborative with forbidden
artists, designers, academics, individuals and
communities to provoke, reposition, celebrate
and excuse the public.

Artist’s Biography
Jolene Lai (b. 1980) disarmingly extracts
visual magic from mundane repetitions of
daily life and familiar narratives that lurk in
our shared consciousness in her art. Her works
resemble adult fairy tales, transforming known
situations from memory and the everyday,
building playful symbolic narratives through
free association. The viewer is transported to a
world of whimsical characters and symbols, at
times absurd, at others tragicomic. Her
work often feels like a waking dream as the
familiar is deconstructed and re-imagined
as strange poetry.

Artist’s Biography
Lee Boon Ngan (b. 1939) is an accomplished
artist specialising in floral still life. Her love for
nature and flowers is reflected in the mastery
of light on the flowers that she paints. Her style
has evolved from painting still life as bouquets
in a vase, to tackling a sea of flowers as exists in
nature. Her paintings are collected by private
collectors, Board of Commissioners of Currency
Singapore and Ngee Ann Kongsi, as well as
presented as gifts to embassies and foreign
dignitaries.

Artist’s Biography
Stellah Lim (b. 1979) graduated from RMIT
with a BFA. She is interested in narratives of
memory, nostalgia, presence and absence. Her
works explore the lingering presence of absence
when people or objects cease to exist, such as
the thoughts and images that surface or fade
away as one tries to recall memories associated
with familiar objects or photographs. Her past
exhibitions in Singapore include Re(Claim)
Singapore!, Between Conversations and

“Art RequiresTechnology,

Lin Hsin Hsin
IT Inventor, artist, poet, composer
A digital native anchored on Linux & Android.
Deeply rooted in mathematics, technology, art
and music, Lin Hsin Hsin is as much a geek as
an artist, poet and composer. She is a digital
media pioneer in Singapore, and the FIRST to
conceptualise and build a virtual museum in
the world in 1994. Among her many world firsts:
she used only equations to build, animate and
manufacture sculptures and 3D objects (2007),
In-Camera Painting (ICP) (2010); created and
displayed Stereoscopic 3D art without extra
hardware and 3D glasses (2011). In 2012, she
established the world’s first mobile phone
orchestra; she invented TANGO--finger
choreography in 2013 and STEP in 2015, both
for LIVE 3D digital performances on Android.

Artist’s Biography
Loo Zihan (b. 1983) is a performance and
moving-image artist based in Singapore. His
works strive to reconcile the tension between
the ‘flesh’ of the performing body and the
‘bone’ of the archive. Through a variety of
representational strategies he exposes the
malleable and duplicitious nature of human
memory. These strategies include the essay
film, data visualisation and performance
re-enactments, among others. He obtained his
MFA from the School of the Art Institute of
Chicago in 2011.
